RUSSIAN NUCLEAR SECRETS LEAKED

Two Russian government controlled TV stations accidentally  broadcasted government nuclear secrets. Footage was later deleted.

The Presidential Press Secretary says he knows of no plans to punish the responsible party. Obviously they plan to prevent such things from happening again.

The footage was taken during a defense meeting called by the President.

We are reading Job, Elaphaz spoke today. He asked Job if he was Cain.

We read about rice. In some countries the words rice, eat and eat rice are the same. You have to have a lot of rice for it to be a source of protein. Brown rice and white rice are from the same plant, just brown rice still has it’s husk on. Javanaca rice is from Indonesia. The US exports rice.

A half grown baby is called fetus.

We started Case for Christ today. We learned about Phnom Penh. It means hill of a woman named Penh. Penh was woman who found a Buddha in one of the rivers around the city and made a shrine for it. It is the capital of Cambodia. They allow more worship than they used to because it used to be Communist. The UN threw over that government in the 90’s. It is in Southeast Asia.

There are a lot of tin and gem mines in Southeast Asia.

A hiccup is a gasp of air forced in by your body then your epiglottis stopping it. A yawn is actually for keeping awake. When you have shallow breathing it triggers your body to fall asleep. When you are you have a yawn to stop it.

Deciduous means falling in Greek. Molar means millstone.

When plaque hardens it is called tarter, I thought is was the other way around.

RIVER MARKET’S SEQUEL HAS CONSTRUCTION UNDERWAY

Moses Tucker Real Estate wants to replicate their River Market success with the 3.5 acre neighborhood they just purchased. It has lots of “grit” that they say they want to keep.

It’s meant to develop it’s own reputation      and not be under the shadow of it’s model. The construction chief thinks the area will start a rebuilding frenzy in the area surrounding it.

We read a poem about crabs, the poet does not like them. In 100 Gateway Cities we learned about Ha Noi. Earlier, before school I heard it mentioned in a book about war. (The city is in Vietnam.)

Job is doubting God, at least I think. That is not good. I wonder why Job is doing that.

In whatever happened to penny candy I was trying to understand velocity. It doesn’t quite make scents to me.

In science we learned more about genes and DNA. Did you know that some of your genes are called “junk DNA.”

Job thinks God is mad at him and that He is ignoring him. Job is confusing.

In science we started a new book about nutrition. It seems ok, it has lots of experiments.

In our new book about economics we read about recessions and depressions. I was wondering during reading why money has to represent something or have some value. I mean if everybody wanted to we could just have paper and there is no gold. Because I don’t really see why it has to be valuable.

We read a poem about sidewalks. Your brain is the actual body part that feels pain. It just tells the body part receiving damage that it is getting hurt.

We started a new book about nutrition today. In it I learned the four macronutrients of the human body: water, carbohydrates, protein and fat.
